Chapter 68: Miku's Discovery
Miku wonders if she heard wrong.
She was ready to be scolded, however, she followed him, but instead of getting angry, he said he would lead the way for her.
Isn't this too strange?
And Miku didn't know if it was just her imagination, but when the young man said he wanted to guide her, his eyes shone, not as cold as before.
It made her wonder if she recognized the wrong person.
Looking down at the 'Collection of Anecdotes of the Warring States Period' in his hand, Miku was sure that she had not mistaken the person.
It was the man she met in the library.
Since she didn't admit her mistake, should he let her help lead the way?
She didn't even dare to talk to him, and if she asked him to help lead the way, she still felt like she couldn't do it.
But if she refuses, does it seem like she has other motives?
The reason Miku just explained was because she got lost.
When someone is lost, if someone agrees to help lead, none of the lost people will refuse.
Currently, Miku was thinking a lot.
Ren didn't mean to urge her at all, he just waited patiently for her answer.
"Okay."
In the end, Miku decided to agree.
She really wanted to get out of here.
"Yes." Ren nodded in satisfaction.
This way, he could once again take the lead.
Based on the experience gained last time, Ren continued to ask: "Where are you going?"
"Pentagon Apartments," Miku subconsciously said her home address.
As soon as she said those words, she realized what she had said and quickly changed her words: "Just go to the nearest bus stop."
She didn't want the man in front of her to know where she lived to avoid accidents.
"Pentagon Apartments?" Ren asked.
"Um."
Now that he was heard, Miku immediately admitted it.
Rejection at this time has no effect.
"Just take me to the bus stop. I can take the bus home myself," Miku reminded him again.
"No, go to the Pentagon Apartments."
Ren refuses her request and decides to take her home.
Because the last time he led Gabriel, he immediately took Gabriel to her destination.
Therefore, Ren had to take her home this time.
Only in this way can there be contrast.
The reason why he agreed to take the lead was actually to see how much progress he had achieved compared to before.
Apart from that, there is no other reason.
"…"
Miku already regretted letting the man in front of her help her lead.
She clearly said she was going to the bus stop, but he insisted on taking her home.
Miku really couldn't blame him for overthinking this.
After hesitating for a long time, Miku answered: "No need."
To be safe, she decided it was better to refuse.
"…"
Ren looked at Miku who was standing in front of him in confusion.
Didn't she say she was lost?
Then why doesn't she let himself help lead?
He really didn't understand.
However, even though he was rejected, he felt that it was nothing.
Just one less chance to prove yourself.
So Ren turned around and left without hesitation.
Since he was rejected, there was no need for him to stay here, so he might as well continue wandering around.
"Eh?"
Seeing Ren's leaving figure, Miku looked very confused.
She didn't expect him to just leave like that, without any intention of talking nonsense to her.
Could it be that she was thinking too much about it now?
She started to doubt this matter.
Seeing his figure walking further and further away, Miku also panicked a little.
She followed him here and didn't know where this place was.
If he really left, she didn't know how to leave.
After struggling for a while, Miku made a decision and went after Ren.
"Um... P-please take me to the Pentagon Apartments."
Running to his side, Miku said this embarrassedly.
"…"
Stopping and turning around to look at Miku, Ren's eyes became even more confused.
He really couldn't understand the human mind.
What else now.
"Okay."
Even though he didn't quite understand it, he still wouldn't refuse if she asked him to help lead the way.
"Thank You."
Miku thanked him and didn't say anything else, just stood aside quietly.
Just chasing and asking Ren had used up all her courage, and now she didn't know what to do.
Miku even said that she didn't know where she had the courage to catch up...
After agreeing to lead, Ren activated his superpower, [Navigation].
Since he didn't know where the Pentagon Apartments was, he had to use [Navigation] to find his way.
After confirming the specific location, Ren was ready to take the lead.
"Come with me."
"Um."
After making a soft sound, Miku kept a certain distance from him and followed him silently.
······
After following him for a while, Miku's mood gradually became calmer from her initial nervousness.
Because during the leading process, the man didn't even say a word and continued walking ahead.
And all the roads she took were main roads, not remote roads.
Moreover, her steps weren't very fast, so she could follow him easily.
Overall, this guy doesn't seem like a bad guy.
This makes Miku feel more relaxed.
She was indeed wrong now.
Because she was out of the dilemma of getting lost, Miku had time to think about something else.
Then, she turned her attention to the three books held by Ren.
Among the three books, she was sure there was a 'Collection of Anecdotes of the Warring States Period', but she was not sure about the others.
Since he would choose to borrow this book, it means he also likes the history of the Warring States Period like her, right?
The 'Collection of Anecdotes of the Warring States Period' can be said to be a very remote book with a very small circulation. If Miku hadn't always been interested in books about the Warring States Period, she probably wouldn't have known about it.
If she think about it like this, Miku can understand why the other party didn't want to give her the book.
After all, who wants to hand over a book they've finally found to a stranger?
Maybe it was because the other party had the same hobbies as herself, which made Miku's impression of Ren much better.
